The simplest is to convert both into the same form. Whether you choose to go for two decimal numbers or two fractions is a matter of personal preference. Add the two parts together and you have your estimate.

At this point, the fractional part of the sum can easily be turned into a decimal by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator - therefore, 17 / 5 = 3 2/5 or 3.4.
